Counsellor William F. Howe obtained from
Judge Donohue yesterday a writ of habeas
corpus for Herr Johann Most TO be returned
before Judge Lawrence to-day in Supreme
Court, Chambers. The purpose Of the writ
was to fix bail for Most pending the appeal
of his case to the General Term.
At 1880 o'clock to-day, Officer Downey, of
the Tombs, took Most to the big Court
House. Most was handcuffed to Charles
Lenartski, q Pole, who is unfortunately
claimed by two women as husband, and is
now the subject Of criminal proceedings for
bigamy.
Most whiled away the time before his case
was called by making q speech ON American
injustice. Finally Mr.. Howe got the eye of
the Judge who looks like Henry Watterson,
and moved for the admission of Most to bail
in 81. 1000, reading Judge Cowing's certificate,
which stated that there are very reasonable
doubts of the propriety Of the conviction of
Most on the evidence.
Mr.. Howe stated that Most's bail was OIL 800
before trial and that the District Attorney
thought %, 900 enough now, in view Of Judge
Cowing's certificate.
Assistant District Attorney Purdy assented
and added: ut wouldn't be a very great
calamity to the country if Most should clear
out and forfeit his BAIL"
Judge Lawrence was not pleased. He said
80, and added emphatically, viciously chuck
at his clerk:
81 don't consent. It is not. because a con-
victed criminal has been given q stay, q mat
ter of right that he should of course be

I won't act now. Besides, the written consent
of the District Attorney is not here"
For a moment Mr.. Howe was nonplused.
He hurried out to obtain the consent of Dis;
trict-Attorney MARITIME, and soon returned
with it and announced that fact trium-
phantly. Only the best he could do was to
obtain the agreement of MIR. MARITIME to
Judge Lawrence was not yet satisfied to
let Most go free, and said: Now, will ex-
anime the papers,"
Mr.. Howe did not pass them up. He sim
ply erased the writ order, and thus withdrew
the matter from court.
The fact was, that as the District Attorney
consented to bail, Judge Lawrence's action
was not needed. Most was walked back to
the Tombs, dazed and unable to understand
In q couple of hours he was called out OF

panied by a tall, rather pretty young woman,
who wore q capitalistic seal sacque and a per.
feet love of a bonnet.
Mrs. Hoffman wanted to be Most's surety.
She justified in 49,, 900, making affidavit to
the ownership Of that amount OF property.
Judge Cowing was the judge who signed
the papers releasing Most, and then the 7 by
8 terror stalked out of the courtroom with
an air of triumph.
He received an ovation at the Chambers
street exit from two hundred boys and hall
as many men and women. He Immediately
became the head of a procession, which aug
mented in size as 1t went.
Most was 1anked on either side by q hire.
ling of the capitalistic press, and he
harangued them as he walked in q voice of O
burst bellows.
He said he would go straight to the Office Of
his paper, Freihsit, and write some editorials
and his eyes flashed and glittered like those
of a captured coon.
The ITO pound destroyer of the social
fabric 4" was evidently much tickled at the no.
tice he was receiving from a curious public.
But The WORLD reporter saw the same sor,

Miss Florence Mccarthy, at the Central Parb
Arsenal the other day, when the estimable
visitors from Chimpanzee land gave q recep.
ton and house-warming in their new resi-.
dence.
Most stubbed along with a bundle Of
sausages under one arm and O bundle OF
papers under the other, The WoRLD being
conspicuously on the outside of his bundle.
A crowd of fully one thousand people saw
the little man disappear up the rickety stair,
